Month: May 2014

Kevin Killeen interviewed me yesterday for his early morning segment, “A Whole ‘Nother Story.” He’s a good interviewer. It should put you in the mood to take in my reading at the Stone Spiral Coffee and Curios, 2500 Sutton Blvd. in Maplewood, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Today was absolutely awesome, mostly. I sold, sold, sold both my book about the Arch and Beer, Brats, and Basement: St. Louis Germans at the German Cultural Society’s Maifest. I don’t know how many people said they showed up because they saw me on Fox 2 this morning. I had some great conversation and came back with a horrible case of sunburn from sitting at an unshaded table facing west for six hours on a sunny afternoon.

Sunday is shaping up to be a most busy day. At 7:45 a.m., I’ll be talking about The Making of an Icon: The Dreamers, The Schemers, and The Hard Hats Who Built the Gateway Arch on Fox 2 News in the morning. After that, I’ll be off to church and then make a quick change into my lederhosen. Starting at noon and going for the rest of the afternoon, I’ll be selling Beer, Brats, and Baseball: St. Louis Germans along with The Making of an Icon at the German Cultural Society’s annual Maifest at Donau-Park, 5020 West Four Ridge Road, House Springs. The society’s Maifest is about as authentic as any in the region. If you come, stop by my book table.
